CHAPTER 9/ CONFUSING TIMES.
It was now well intoJanuary and the rumors kept coming, no one wouls stop talking about Emma and her relationship with Jay. Toby, J.t and Liberty weren't helping her through this like friends should but instead talked about her made fun of her, Paige, and her friends were there for her. Emma leaned on them for support she just wanted it all to go away. She still kept her ring on a chain around her neck, the chain was long enough that the ring hanging from the end could be hidden beneth her shirt. She didn't want Jay to see she was holding on to a piece of him a piese of the love they had. Sean tried to get her to talk to Jay saying she would feel better if she heard hi out but she refused.
Jay wasn't doing any better peopel weren't talkign about him but he had to see the hurt and lost look on Emma's face every day even though she wouldn't look at him. He watched her and saw what he had done to her.'I should have told her when I started to fall for her' he thought sitting in his car in the school parking lot. He was brought out of his thoughts by someone tapping on the window. He turned to see Sean standing there, Sean had tried to help him with Emma Jay had told him he never ment to hurt her, he had cried his eyes out to his best friend. "Hey you coming in any time today?" Sean asked sitting in the front seat. "I can't stand to see the look on her face man. and I put it there." Jay was looking down at his hands. "I know man but you have to keep busy to take your mind off of this, now come on get out of the car." Sean said and took the kepys from the ignition and walked over to the drivers side when Jay didn't move. "come on man." He said taking his arm pulling his form the car.
Emma was standing with Paige, Hazel, and Ellie in the bathroom rinsing out her mouth. She had gotten sick just moments before. "Em you don't look so good maybe you should go home."Ellie said handing her a towel to wipe her mouth, Emma shook her head and grabbed her bag "No I'm fine, really I am." she said and left the bathroom to go to her first period class. "I think somethings wrong, she hasn't been looking good for a few weeks." Paige said to the others, the nodded in agreement "Maybe all this stuff at school is making her sick, I'm sure she'll be fine in no time." Ellie said as they walked out of the bathroom "yea but I'm still woried about her." "Paige she'll be fine it's like Ellie said the rumors are maing her sick thats all." Hazel said, the bell rang adn they three girls walked to there classes.
Emma was sitting in her english class when she started to feel dizzy and sick to her stomach again, she placed her head on the desk and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her stomach. "Emma are you alright?" Mrs. Kwan asked her coming over to her. Emma looked up at her and shook her head no, "Why don't you go to the nurse." "I'll take her." Sean said he was next to her and saw how sick she looked. He got up and took Emma's arm and lead her out of the room. "What's the matter Em, you've been sick for a week." Emma looked down and shruged her shoulders. Sean could come up with a few reasons for her sickness but he wasn't sure if he should bring it up or not she ws still stinging form her break up with Jay. But he had to bring it up so he and her friends could help her. "Emma is there a chance you could be pregnant?" he asked holding her arm and making her face him.
Emma stood there in silence "No I'm fine it's just all this stress about Jay and me going around school is making me sick it's nothing." she said and they continuted to walked down the hall to the nurse. Sean wasn't very convinced but he knew not to push the subject with Emma but he would just watch her to make sure everything went fine.
Emma was sent home that afternoon because of her sickness, when she walked in the house she walked down to her room. Her mom was at work and her brother was in daycare. Laying on the bed she thought about the same thing she had been since that day she and Jay broke up. she thought about him. She was still in love with him and she knew that it wasn't going to go away. She looked over at her closet and saw a long deep red dress, it was a corset ribbon lace up back with a v-neck spaghetti straps that tied around her neck, and the bodice was bunched up a tiny bit. Emma and the other girls had gone shopping for their valentines day dresses, the school was holding a formal dance for it and when she saw that dress she had to have it, but now it looked like she was never going to get the chance to wear it. Jay had promised her that he would go with her but now that wasn't going to happen. Emma rolled over on her bed and clutched her chain with her ring on it. 'I miss you Jay' she thought closing her eyes tight trying to block her tears.
At school Jay was with Sean he had seen Emma and him in the hall before she had left but didn't hear what they were saying. "Sean what were you and Emma talking about?" he finally asked him Sean didn't want to tell him that he thought Emma might be pregnant because that was what he was leaning towards. "nothing just making sure she was alright, she isn't feeling that great." "is she okay?" Sean nodded "yea she'll be fine just a stomach bug." Jay still looked worried "Jay she'll be fine and she'll talk to you when she's ready okay. She just needs time." Sean hoped that he was making his friend feel better but he didn't really know what to say.
The dance was coming up and Emma was really nervouse not because of the dance but because of what Sean had asked her a few weeks before. She couldn't get the words out of her head " Emma is there a chance you could be pregnant?" Emma had thought about it and went to look at the calander she had near her desk. She counted and saw she hadn't had her period since early December and it was now Febuary 12th "shit what am I going to do?" she asked herself, she picked up her phone and punched in a few numbers before hanging up, she had almost called Jay. "No I'm not calling him I can't." she took a fwe breaths and dialed Paige.
"Hello." her brother Dylan answered "Hey Dylan is Paige there?" "Sorry Em but she's out with Hazel. Do you want me to take a message?" "um no it's okay I'll call her later, bye Dylan." "bye Emma." after they hung up she paced her room. Emma didn't have the guts to tell her mom or dad yet and was a little scared to tell Ellie and Ashley, they hadn't been freidns that long so that only left one person. Sean. Emma grabbed her stuff and walked to his place she stood outside for a few minutes before actually knocking on the door. When he answered she just huged him and started to cry. "Em what's the matter? Tell me." he said pulling away and walking into the living room amking her sit on the couch. "Tell me Emma what's the matter?" She took a few breaths adn looked up at him.
"I...think you...were ....right." she said inbetween sobs. Sean looked at her and was a little confused as to what she was talking about. "Emma slow down I was right about what?" he sat next to her and rubbed her back till she calmed down. "I was thinking about what you said and then I looked at my calnder." she started to ramble. "Emma your rambaling slow down." Emma turned to look him in the eye and more tears started to well up. "I'm late Sean my period is late." she broke down again and rested her head on his shoulder. Sean closed his eyes and sighed 'I never wanted to be right about this' he thought holding her. "It's okay Emma, it'll be okay." he said gentaly in her ear "did you take a test yet, or even gotten one?" he asked pulling away.
Emma shook her head and wiped her eyes "I'm too scared" "well give me a fwe minutes to get changed and we'll go to the store and buy one okay?" Emma nodded her head. Sean got up and went to his room to change. The phone started to ring making Emma jump she calmed down and answered it, she knew Sean wouldn't care. "Hello." she said taking a breath to calm her nerves "Emma is that you?" it was Jay. She didn't know home much she missed him till she heard his voice adn then the fear came back she could be pregnant adn the question was did she tell him she might be or not. "yea it's me." "God I miss you are you okay Sean said you were sick." Emma almost lsot it when she heard the concern he had for her. "yea I'm fine and I miss you too."
Jay was so happy when he heard her voice but then it sounded like she was about to cy or had been crying and that scared him. "Emma baby are you okay?" "Yea I'm fine." she still sounded funny but he wasn't going to push her "okay good, listen Emma we have to talk please that's all I'm asking is for you to talk with me." he said there was a moment of silence on the other line andhe thought she had hung up on him."okay we can talk but not right now." "yea I don't want to over the phone, how about at the dance I did promise we would go." he was happy for the first time since this had happen "okay at the dance, but I have to go now." "okay bye Emma I'll see you at the dance." with that they hung up.
Sean came out of his room just as she hung up "who was that?" Emma looked at him "it was Jay." Sean came over to her and sat down "Did you tell him you might be pregnant?" she shook her head no "why not I don't know I want to find out first." she said looking up at him "okay come on lets go to the store and find out." He grabbed her hadn and they walked to the store in slience. When they got there Emma held on to his hadn she didn't want to let go she needed some one right now, she was scared and needed to feel safe and Sean always made her feel safe. They got a test and went back to his place to take it. Emma went into the bathroom while Sean waited outside.
Emma came out of the bathroom and looked at Sean "well what does it say?" "we have to wait three minutes." she sat down next to him on his bed "waht am I going to do?" "I don't know Emma, but you really should tell Jay about this even if it's negative." She looked down at the floor and didn't say anything "Em look at me." he took her face in his hands and made her look at him, "Jay is my best friend Emma and you know how different he is compared to what he shows at school you know that this tough guy thing can be an act. But one thing you don't know and you should know is if you are pregnant he would want to know so he can take responsiblity for his kid, he would want to take care of it." Emma was almost crying again "I know but I don't even know whats going on I'm confused and don't want to think about anything right now." She looked at the clock near the bed and got up to look at the test. Sean followed her and stood behind her as she read the test box and then looked down at the test in her hand, "So what's it say?" he asked placing a hand on her shoulder. Emma chocked back tears and turned to look at him and she hedl up the test "I'm pregnant.", some tears fell from her eyes but she had a small smile on her face too. "I'm pregnant Sean." he pulled her into a hug and rocked her back and forth. 'Now we have to tell Jay.' he thought he didn't want to say it to Emma she needed time to think.
